button clicking and mouse clicking in a window

[jeweladdict]

I did a search of the forums, but I couldn't seem to find the answer anywhere.

Once i have a window maximized, is there anyway that i can send a command that will click a button with a certain text? Looking through the guide, all i see is a mouse click with coordinates...

Also, the window info tool tells me the coordinates within a window. How do i send a mouse click within a window? Mouse click takes x and y which are relative to the screen, not the window... anyone know how to change that?

thanks!

In answer to the first part of your question lookup ControlClick in the help file.

For the second part lookup opt(GUICoordMode)

Hope this helps.

perfect

thanks a bunch

quick question:

Opt("GUICoordMode", 1)

Alters the position of a control defined by GUICtrlSetPos.

1 = absolute coordinates (default) still relative to the dialog box.

0 = relative position to the start of the last control (upper left corner)

2 = cell positionining relative to current cell. A -1 for left or top parameter don't increment the start. So next line is -1,0; next cell is 0,-1; current cell is -1,-1

how would I use this to click on a point x,y within a window?

I already have the window focused, but would like to click on point X,Y relative to window not screen. Would I set it to Opt("GUICoordMode", 0) ?

I think so.

Edit - Got it wrong for mouse control it should be opt(MouseCoordMode,0)

Sorry for telling you wrong. :">

i use this with the "0"

opt("MouseCoordMode", 0) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client

yea... i tried it out last night and it didn't work. Will try mouse one now

For the ControlClick function, the control id number of the button keeps resetting each time i open the app... am i using it incorrectly?
